Buildings

[The_Chaz]

Is there a way to make it so a SCV, probe, or drone can build buildings for all three races?
Also, can I make it so that I can build an advanced structure without the previous structures built? Like, building a Terran Factory before a Barracks is built ?

I would say >YES< but it would be trigger hell in some ways.

Or, were you thinking of some editor that would substitute in some units menu, rather than triggers?

 

[The_Chaz]

Well the editor would be nice, I didn't really care tho. I can very much see it being trigger hell, so oh well. I'm kind of a lazy person, so if it's too much work, forget it. But if there is an editor out there that can do that...let me know.

Right now it is impossible to have a builder to build different races buildings ( Drone build protoss ect..) but, i guarentee that sooner or later there will be one

Go under single player and play a melee map.
press enter
type in " Modify the phase variance "
press enter again.
hehe!

That's a cheat, kina stupid master virus .

Anyways, if your talking about letting a human player create other races buildings with specific units, it won't work no matter how hard you try.

If it was a computer, runnign to a spot and building, that would be possible only in custom ums though.

Fact b4 a barrack? Impossible without more triggers.

The easyest way would be to do something like what is done with cloked bunker maps where you build a supply depo and it is replaced with the new building. Those triggers shouldn't be too hard you will have to use center location and things.

And darktemplar how much money do you want to bet on this? starcraft has been out for like 7 years (i don't know) and we still can't do it. Oh ya modifying your mpq with arsenalIII does not count

lol!! proved wrong again...

I think im going to stop posting here becuase ive been proved wrong so many times for only about 15 posts

 

[tassadar920]

lol, that's what map making is about, getting better.

Bolt head, there is a possibility of doing that, but it would require a hack that would hack the .mpq file as it was being played... screw it, you'd get caught right away.

 

[SiLeNT(U)]

Wrong, If you edit an MPQ you're the only one in the game who would notice the changes, because when people join your games they download the map not the mpq, so it is impossible

 

[tassadar920]

there could be a hack that would aloow it to be done, but you'd get caught mad fast was all i was saying.
